ISO 20022: Implementing the global payments messaging standard within CHAPS and RTGS
ISO 20022: the new messaging standard for CHAPS and RTGS
On
19 June 2023, CHAPS and the Bank’s Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS) will migrate to the ISO 20022 messaging standard. The ISO 20022 message standard facilitates the sending of enhanced data in a richer, more structured format than currently, which will bring a wide range of benefits. It is an open international standard, which has the potential to create a single common language for most payments globally. In addition to the UK, many major jurisdictions are also implementing ISO 20022 ahead of November 2025, when SWIFT is scheduled to retire its existing MT message standard for payments.
In order to continue sending and receiving CHAPS payments from 19 June 2023, payment users may have to make changes to the way they send and receive payments. Users will also need to adapt to the new data requirements, which will become mandatory from November 2024 onwards.
